At least in south Fla, if someone sees a thatched hut, it's a Tiki Hut or a Bar with a Thatched roof? its a Tiki Bar.

Actually most thatched huts in Florida are built by the Seminole and Micosukee Indiand and are Really called "Cheekee" huts When the Indian said Cheeke, everyine heard Tiki...

TikiBar's The Tiki Roadtrip discusses this overapplication of the tiki bar title in Soiuth Florida.

Interesting point about those native American tribes - I didn't realize that rule was so widely applied, I had only heard about it in the context of the Fairchild Tropical Gardens.
